what is the power source for the line shafts?, new sub just found you

[@petermcneill80]

Great job , shaft straightening came out really nicely too.
I thought maybe you’d be “heat straightening” it “Keith Fenner” style

[@iron_jonesy]

Thanks! I've tried that method a couple of times, with limited success. Keith is extremely skilled!
